Call #Weird, call me SuperNerd, call me #nerd but I really enjoy doing this. Maybe it’s the #Learning, maybe it’s the #Fun, or maybe I’m a little more #Nerdy than I thought, but building out my #Homelab starting with #PiHole and working from there has been a wonderful experience. The documentation process has also been enjoyable; maybe it’s because it shows my work and what I’ve done as an #accomplishment

Stay tuned for more updates!

– In only a few simple steps, we will describe how to set up your own recursive DNS server. It will run on the same device you're already using for your Pi-hole. There are no additional hardware requirements. #PiHole #unbound https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/

First time installing Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi. Smooth sailing. 45 minutes install and setup. Not an ad in sight now.
Better order a mug now. https://pi-hole.net/shop/#page-content

It is amazing to see how good software does the job and stays out of your way. Example of this is #PiHole that is for years now running on tiny #RPi 3A+ without any problems and serving all clients in my network.

Also, check out your pihole log with

sudo awk '/query\[A\]/ || /query\[AAAA\]/ {print $6}' /var/log/pihole/pihole.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

Surprises aplenty. Or not.

Update: added AAAA records (ipv6) to above command to have a complete view

Not the smoothest upgrade from #debian #bullseye to #bookworm
For reasons best known to itself, my static interface addressing got deleted and we are now on #dhcpd5... which seems to require that it runs on *all* interfaces. Sorting that out was a right #pita when the system in question is my #pihole and so DNS wasn't working until I got this sorted

So, auf diesem kleinen "Plastikteil" soll bald #Nextcloud bei mir zu Hause laufen - plus noch #PiHole und andere nette Programme.

Der deutsche Zoll hat dem Versender leider nicht geglaubt, dass diese #Syncloud ein Geschenk ist

Dabei habe ich doch morgen Geburtstag und mir das Teil selbst geschenkt.

Verstehe ich nicht

Upgraded all four of my pihole instances to v6. They’re working perfectly!

I love how a bunch of the “advanced” settings are now available from the UI. It makes initial set up so much easier.

it took me until this year to establish a #pihole for my network

it's blocking 20% of queries, many of which are my oculus quest 2 pinging Facebook every 10 seconds despite having been "off" for weeks

ad blockers work great in a browser, but it feels great to have this additional layer of privacy

@michaelrowe01 after far too much procrastination - finally deployed Pi-Hole onto local NAS. You have voiced endorsement on many a GatW.B episode!

Tested = doing the desired task!
Added extra blocklists (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists#recommended-lists)

Also trained allowed-list with regex for #quad9 ;) = thankful for their DNS service

Might you share your lists?

Yet to setup backup local #PiHole instance on separate low-power hungry device (contemplating bringing back online #NSLU2 for this purpose)

People really need to set up a dns black hole, use #pihole #pfsense with #pfblockerng use something.

Essentially a mini PC sits between my devices and the internet and filters it.

I am subscribed a bunch of lists that allow my device to block malware, adware, ads and other things I don't want my devices to connect to.

You can't trust most devices so you need to control your connection.

Also, use #Grapheneos

Leave your house keys under the mat and turn off your security system.
